Mjeteconer Just perfect...

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Sweetrol We all know what these type of movies are trying to do, and as such, give them the benefit of the doubt. However, "Covert Operation" has too many flaws to rate any higher than a 2 out of 10. The portrayal of the North Koreans alone is horrible. I can only recommend this film as a poor attempt at a dark comedy. The dialogue is difficult to hear, and the accents are also very heavy. Much of the action is shot with the camera moving, another reason I do not care for the film. I like to see the action in my action films. The plot was hard for me to follow, but it seemed to contain more holes than substance. Also used through out the entire film was poor lighting, again making it difficult to follow the action, and plot. In conclusion, "Covert Operation" is a poor attempt at action, and should be watched with caution, if at all.

Julian-Iron Very decent movie overall.Action and fight scenes are really good, Sedina Balde is a real bad ass and very charismatic. Some of the fights are very well filmed (the upside down double fight is very cool, the fight on the North-Korean version of the world map is just great). Apart from the action, there is a lot of fun scenes and nice references to other movies. There are some really nice work with lights throughout the entire movie. Some poor dialogs at times, some scenes also seem a bit "cheap" here and there, but all in all, I had a very good time watching this movie.

eric-549 This picture is really weird. Filmed in France? I think it was supposed to be an action packed thriller. For me it was also a comedy. I laughed out loud several times. The plot has so many holes, worse than a Swiss cheese. The acting was meh, the dialogue was written by Yogi Berra sitting on the toilet and eating crackers. The main bad guy was also always uptight. He was a caricature of what a western person might think of an Asian evil dude. You could tell the hero was a professional martial artist. He was really good, the fight scenes were OK, but also contributed to the comedy. You know, the unwritten law that only one man at a time can attack the hero even though he is surrounded by 16 martial arts guys. Yet still I liked it. I gave it a seven.. I'm easy

mike-hollyweird I have been looking for a great action flick for a little while and was really pleased to watch Covert Operation. All the ingredients are there, great Plot, explosive Action, awesome Fight sequences and even comedy!!! The Lead Seydina Balde is not only very charismatic but also a real martial artist and a five time World Karate Champion and this brings a lot to the action and fight sequences. On top of that the director Matthew Weschler was really able to display Seydina Balde's Amazing skills thanks to the outstanding camera work. This movie is kind of unique in the genre and will please both the average action junkie and the general audience. It definitely deserves a theatrical release. I can't wait to see Seydina Balde featured in another movie. He sure has a very promising career ahead. If you like action as much as i do you will not be disappointed...I voted 10!!!! It does not happen that often so go watch seat back and enjoy. MIke
